Apparently following ownership by Bellefille Proprietaire, it went via intermediary J Reiss of Paris to Sables de Nemours, Chervrainvilliers as their No. 8 and later to the CF dAttraction du Parc de la Tete dOr, Lyon bfore reaching M Didier of Satolas, Isère. From here it went to Tacot des Lacs at 77880 Grez sur Loing, Seine-et-Marne, France. The Tacot des Lacs is a 600mm gauge line which runs for around 3km on the trackbed of an old sandpit railway originally built in 1905. The Sablières de Bourron railway closed in 1969, the last such railway to close in Seine-et-Marne (both Sablières de Nemours systems closed in 1966). It was dismantled after closure and was rebuilt as a heritage line in 1985. Website: http://tacotdeslacs.free.fr/collection.html
